There's nothing revolutionary here

There's nothing revolutionary here, but LOL is a good-natured teen angst flick with a tender heart, snappy dialog and some hilariously awkward moments (especially during a trip to the weird, exotic land of...

The only difference is that these men do it much more stylistically, and in Paris
